Second half wasn't great with Harps really only going through the motions and the Youths satisfied with their lead. Ben Ryan came on for Craig at half-time for the Youths. With five minutes gone,Danny had a chance to lob Patton who had advanced but hit it straight at the Harps keeper. With ten gone, McCann hit an effort a yard wide after good work by Loftus - but prior to this, Shane Nolan had kept the Harps youngster very quiet. Then, on 15 minutes, Black should have scored for Harps, when a mistake in the Wexford defence left him with only a defender on the line to beat, but Shane Nolan managed to block the effort on the line and clear. Andy Mulligan and Ryan Delaney then came on for Rocks and Gary Delaney. Danny then had a header which seemed to hit the inside the post and out from a good cross by Deano, and Ben Ryan knocked a free header over. With fifteen to go, Andy hit the post with Patton advancing, but the ball rebounded away. Late cards were then given to McCann for Harps and Mulligan for the Youths for a tackle and the match finished on a 3-0 scoreline for the Youths. Best for Wexford were Danny with his hat-trick and Lasty, Killian and Shane Nolan. For Harps, was very impressed by Black who worked his socks off in midfield and McCarron who worked hard and alone up front, while O'Callaghan and Coll looked the best of the defenders. About 280 at the match.
